Could local State Senator Marty Golden possibly be New York’s most elusive, and brazen scofflaw since Seinfeld’s own ‘white whale‘ evaded a one-eyed upper west side traffic cop back in 1995?

Golden’s signature white ‘whale’ of a Cadillac Escalade, clearly identified by its plates and placard on the front dash, was spotted parked smack dab in a bus stop [it's proximity to the hydrant, debatable] across the street from the senator’s gym, Harbor Fitness.

This is the 3rd consecutive week Golden’s boat has been spied commandeering this otherwise illegal spot.

In the interest of fairness, although not pictured, our own local Councilman Vinny Gentile has been regularly seen availing himself of the same considerations his placard allows, by parking in the bus stop out front of his 3rd avenue constituent offices.

However, the argument can be made that while actually at his office, he’s [theoretically] on official constituent business…

Whereas Golden – unless taking a steam with Vito Fossella, Bob Capano, and the Commissioner of the NYSDOH on Victory Memorial Hospital – is likely, not.

The violation for parking or idling in a bus stop stands at a cool 155 dollars, folks.
